I had trouble lining up the torpedo shots. As far as I can tell, what you do is line your ship up with the target, fire off a torpedo, and hope the target doesn't move in the meanwhile. Flying straight at a battleship was somewhat suicidal. Interestingly enough, as I was engaging the fighters, I think I fired the last shot that killed the battleship. (What happened was I was following a fighter, saw the battleship was almost dead, and fired a few guns at it, which I thought made it explode, but my character's kill sheet doesn't included any battleship kills.)
I looked at the stats at Lancersreactor, and it looks as though the Barracuda and the Dragon are pretty much the same ship, but the Barracuda has five more cargo space and looks a lot uglier. I guess the Hawk is expensive, but it looks like it has more armor than the Drake.
Well, anyway, considering I have so much money in the bank, and I'm willing to take long time outs on the missions to build up my credits, I might as well try them out. :D
